126"Facts are stubborn things. They cannot be altered by our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions."

这道题目主要是讨论事实究竟是可以变更的还是不可以.因为题目教短,提供信息比较少,就需要大家根据具体情况来仔细思考.

第一, 事实的客观性是不可否认的, 所谓事实就是客观存在. 这种事实的客观性可以体现在人本身和一些领域上. 比如说,在个人这个层次, 我们说接受现实, 因为无论如何,你不能改变已经发生的事情, 这就是事实的客观性. 那么在历史研究和自然科学领域,由于他们研究的实体的客观性, 和研究方法的严谨性. 也具体体现了这一点.

第二,我们来看看是否事实是一成不变的. 其实人们是经常被更改了的事实所蒙蔽的.,比如说说商家的广告战, 政治家的互相利用指责,国家间为了维护自身利益所做出的虚假承诺，虚假信息， 所有这些都使我们怀疑事实的客观性和主观性的比率各占多少?

我的建议是大家尽量从两点来写，因为一点容易走向绝对，这对这到题目可能会不利吧．

对不起大家，我昨天有事情，所以空了一天，如果今天可能，我会补出来，如果不能，大家谅解了．

126"Facts are stubborn things. They cannot be altered by our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions."

The question of whether facts are unchangeable stubborn things or flexible things that can be altered by our proclivities, or wiliness has frequently puzzled us in observing phenomenon, presenting commentary and offering conclusion. In my point of view, the above statement must come under the careful scrutiny on a case-by-case basis.  

For those facts that can hardly be altered by human will, what comes first naturally to our mind is on the individual level. Some people attempt to alter or conceal facts by refusing to admit the true happening, denying facts, telling lies, distort truth and what is worse, to retire from human society which proved to be futile and counterproductive. As we know, experience are part of the valuable heritage we own in our life and victory and defeat accompany each other forever, realizing these, we should rationally consider and analyze the objectivity of those facts that shadows on our confidence, exert heavy burden on our psychological condition or pose threat on our personal achievements and if we finally come to the conclusion that no matter how unpredictable that the hard facts may seem to be, the best way to cope with is to love life as the way it is and enjoy life as the way it is. Another aspect that I argue facts as stubborn is in the history field. Admittedly, facts in history are the true occurrence of yesterday which yields to no manpower of alteration or adulteration.  Someone may argue that historians may provide several tentative and plausible explanation to one historical event which confuse people that it seems every point make a sense but not a whole. I would say that the different explanation is the result of lacking relevant historical documentaries or materials or insufficient research methodology, which means that facts are actually stands, not subjecting to any human intervention. The third example that aptly illustrates the objectivity of facts is in the natural science field that is marked by their scientific and cautious methodology and their respect toward truth and facts. Although sometimes, due to the outside forces or failure in laboratory equipment, people make wrong claim such as the earth is the center of cosmos, which were ultimately, overthrew by the development of observatory equipment and diminishment of theocracy.

But in certain aspect of social life, facts do can be changed by manpower in an effort to cater to the need and taste for a specific group of people. For example, in the business world, some companies engage in false advertisement, unfairly exaggerate the function of their products and deceive the costumers to purchase their product, which they actually being mislead by the mass propaganda campaign. In this case, facts are smeared with lie, but due to the subjectivity of mass media promotion tools, we can hardly tell their minor difference. In the political life, this phenomenon is even more conspicuous. Facts may be held or altered from general public out of the consideration of avoiding general panic and keeping national security. Consider, how much trouble it would be if the national security office inform the public that the terrorists is going to attack this country. While in some cases, it is necessary to withhold some information from the public, but in others, concealing or altering facts in politics are simply the dirty tricks played by some greedy politicians or contending political parties, all of which require us a keen insight in discriminating what is the facts and what is not.

请教：
不知道你怎么看待 “观点摇摆不定，没主见”这个问题？

雨&彩虹UID：132532

什么叫观点摇摆不定?

ISSUE没有什么固定的观点格式.你自圆其说就好了, 而不是让你在一点上摇摆

我的意思是这种题目比较短的,反而比较难写一点,所以建议范围,角度放宽一点.

这是我个人意见,你如果认定了某一种角度,能言之有理就去写好了.

我记得有一篇范文是讲历史的真实性与否的问题，谈到storyteller和历史学家之间的关系。那篇文章也可以和这个题目对照着看。
